Position Overview:

KODA Technologies is seeking to hire an intern with strong analytical skills, an interest in missile trajectory analysis, and familiarity with analytical tools such as MATLAB. The summer intern will be paired with an experienced KODA Technologies engineer and will perform missile modelling and simulation to characterize the dynamic atmospheric environmental effects on a missile flying at high Mach. The intern will obtain, modify, or create simulation tools to perform all analysis and display. KODA Technologies will have MATLAB and the Systems Toolkit (STK) available to support this effort. At the end of the internship period, the intern will create and brief materials demonstrating understanding of the theory of operation, the technical approach, and the analytical results.

Requirements:

• Candidate should be pursuing a BS (entering junior year or later) or MS degree in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering with at least a 3.0 GPA.
• High-level programming in one or more languages (MATLAB, C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Python, etc.) and some software design is required.
